you'll be in my heart

like no king was before He hated seeing her like this, with a blank look replacing her usual glittering eyes. She'd always been beautiful, but now her beauty had dulled because of her mood. Oh how he wished for the good old days when they'd been mere whelps running and nipping at each other's heels. "It didn't have to end this way, but it did. She didn't deserve a life with her mind warped as it was.. I know it sounds morbid, but I think she's better off now." His mother had always been fiery, but she'd had her wits about her most of the time. When she came at Gerhardt she'd been a figment of what she once was, and there was no reason to live as a figment. This was where Kamala was headed if he couldn't snap her out of it. He had to be a better brother, he had to be a brother who was present - not using every ounce of his energy to run a Kingdom. "I love you, Kam," he would mutter into her fur as she nuzzled up against him gently. It felt good, affection. Gerhardt had given up on physical gestures when the children had reached a suitable age, and presently the only one that the King felt comfortable touching was Epiphron. Even though it was a different love he was demonstrating now, it felt good to be able to express something. He breathed a sigh, hot breath parting her fur lightly. "Promise me something.. he paused, carrying out the last syllable for longer than necessary. "Promise me if you get upset you'll come talk to me. I don't like seeing you like this." Truthfully he knew that it was unlikely she would come to him immediately, but he did hope that she felt comfortable enough to talk with him if she got upset in the future. It was important that they communicated, particularly if she was going to continue being his Princess - and he had a strong feeling that she would. Kamala was a wolf he trusted and loved dearly, who else was better fitting for the job? {Table coded by Lu} |
